Lyrics

He wore a star on a polished chest
Swore an oath like all the rest
Said he'd guard the weak stand tall and true
But his hands were dirtier than he ever knew
Coins rang loud in his office drawer
Deals made quiet behind closed doors
While decent men slept safe at night
He sold their names for blood and spite
Judas wore a badge of gold
Sold his soul did what he was told
Kissed the law then stabbed it dead
Laid his silver where the innocent bled
Now I'm the devil in their eyes
For standin' up to Judas' lies
He broke the law and walked away
While I got damned for doin' what he wouldn't say
He rode with wolves in Sunday coats
Graveyard smiles razor throats
Let 'em run wild let 'em steal and burn
As long as his pockets got their turn
I watched good men lose their land
Watched widows beg with empty hands
When justice died in the dirt that day
I picked it up and rode its way
Judas wore a badge of gold
Sold his soul did what he was told
Kissed the law then stabbed it dead
Laid his silver where the innocent bled
Now I'm the devil in their eyes
For standin' up to Judas' lies
He broke the law and walked away
While I got damned for doin' what he wouldn't say
They don't hang men for tellin' the truth
They hang 'em for threatenin' the roof
If power shakes if order bends
They call you outlaw not their friend
I never claimed a righteous name
Never preached I was without blame
But when the badge became the crime
Someone had to cross that line
Now posters say I'm mean and wild
Sheriff prays loud smile reconciled
But every crossroad every town
Knows Judas wears the real crown
Judas wore a badge of gold
Sold his soul for blood and control
Wrote the law with a serpent's pen
Called himself savior of honest men
If standin' up makes me the damned
I'll wear that mark with steady hands
Let history decide who paid
The outlaw or Judas in the shade
Some men sell truth with a holy kiss
And some men burn for stoppin' this
